| Research Abstract |
In this study, our objective is to identify the role of Autophagy at the nasopalatine duct. First, we clarified the morphological change of nasopalatine ducts with tissue sections of mice from embryonic stage to postnatal stage. And we revealed the morphological distinctions of the nasopalatine ducts between control and Atg5 knockout mice, too. Next, we elucidated the genes which change the expression levels when the nasopalatine ducts develop and differentiate. From these results, we suggest that Autophagy is specifically expressed in the nasopalatine ducts, and it has important roles in development and differentiation.
